I have been my hubbys carer for the last 5 years. I have coped quite well and can just about manage day to day. We muddle through. I have been in a flare since I saw the physio a few weeks ago. :lol: I think I over did the exercises he gave me and pushed myself too much. Also hasn't helped that I've had a virus. The thing…
So I had a recent MRI on my neck and went to clinic to get results, wear and tear. Today my doctor rang me to say the clinic sent him the MRI and checked and saw a defect in the small sac attached to the bottom of my brain! Well you could imagine my panic, turns out I have Empty Sella Syndrome, off for more tests in the…

Hi everyone, I am currently in the process of being properly diagnosed but after having some herniated discs in my spine a couple of years ago, I was referred to have an MRI and Bone Scan, after injections did not take much pain away. I was told that I have bilateral sacroiliitis. My Rheumatologist thinks this is being…
Yesterday I got the letter from my Rheumy consultant (I am discharged), supporting my application for early retirement. That's good as it will be key in my application. However it's not good to read, and see in black and white, that I have " degenerative spine disease" and that my most recent MRI shows " further…
Hi, I started another thread about this. The results came through at the end of last week. The consultant asked his secretary to get in touch with my GP and get her to refer me to either a spinal surgeon or a neuro surgeon. She rang me this morning and said we had been going round in circles for a few years…
